"We would like to thank Mr Jones for his contributions as chairman over the years", said Anwer Sunderji, chairman of Fidelity Bank and Trust International, the retail bank's 75 percent owner.

"His extensive expertise and greatly-admired style of leadership have contributed to the constant growth and, in turn, the success of the company. At the same time, we are very pleased to have found such an outstanding successor to Mr Jones in Scott F Elphinstone - a man with both solid professional qualifications and substantial experience in the financial field".

THIS IS THE KIND OF RESUME WE "SHOULD HAVE SEEN" FOR PERSONS APPOINTED AS CEO OR BOARD DIRECTIR FOR BPL. ANYTHING LESS IS GROSS NEGIGENCE. Their resume should list extensive experience leading "energy" companies and restoring energy companies to success. You cannot have a board of BEC where NOBODY knows anything about energy. Is it true the inexperienced CEO ordered the engine restarted resulting in a chain reaction to three fires and 30 million in damages?

Congratulations Mr Jones and Mr Elphinstone
